This is a lie. Being unarmed doesn't mean a person has no chance. That's proven in incident after incident where unarmed people survive these shootings.

I don't see it as 50/50 chance of survival for everyone. I see another idiot with a gun shooting in a building full of people. I see greater chances for more bullets to hit more people.

The difference is these bullets are going towards the bad guy instead of it the innocent people.


I never understood the willingness to be a victim and just hope things work out.

Yep, so in your imaginary world citizens are better trained than the police to handle these situations. SMH the insanity continues.

Nah those bullets are going in the air possibly hitting anyone.

I think agree. I'll depend on me, not some insane person who carries a gun to school and thinks hey I may have to shoot it up with the bad guys.


That's both wanting to be a victim and a perpetrator.

Your side suggests throwing a duffle bag at an active shooter, or hiding under a desk, or stabbing them with scissors, or if you're a woman being raped, peeing on the rapist, vomitting on them, telling them you're on your period, and a whole myriad of other stupid suggestions. Nah, I think I want to carry something that might actually be effective during an attack. Thanks but no thanks.

You stick to peeing on the shooter or stabbing him with scissors, I'll stick with my approach.

Wanting to have the ability to defend yourself makes you a perpetrator?

You are a piece of work and really degrade women. Most can take care of themselves and probably could kick your ass without a weapon. And I would love a front row seat to that lol
